Rejected petition Abolish expenses for MPs

I want the government to make MPs have to pay there own way as every other person does in the country

More details

I don’t think it is fair that MPs can claim for all their cost. While every other person has to make sacrifice about where they shop or if they put the heating on.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about MPs pay and expenses are a matter for the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA), not the UK Government or Parliament. IPSA is an independent body, meaning that the Government and Parliament has no authority over its decisions.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
